I went to the Forge World European open day in Amsterdam last week and it was a lot of fun. Although the line for the store was long, there was plenty to see and many people from the studio to talk too.
I had some great conversations and got a lot of cool tips and tricks :)
And here are Vulkan and Fulgrim in all their glory. The models are much more detailed and nicer in real life. And they had some awesome paint-jobs. Vulkan's armor was just <3 Really looking forward to their version of Leman Russ
I enjoyed myself a lot and hope there will be more events like this.
Every single time I try to paint more and update this tumblr. Sadly I always forget it when I get buried under job projects and irl stuff.
To say that last year was a bit meh, is being kind. While I had some amazing stuff to do, most of it had nothing to with the miniature hobby :(
My former favourite stores had already disappeared and there was no real replacement in the vicinity.
Luckily this changed in the past few months. The old Games Workshop finally got a new manager ( the former one managed to chase away at least 25 people). And another gaming store opened very close by with a lot of other model lines. Which makes it easier to meet people and get more immersed with the hobby. And also get more relaxed with regards to painting. I am by no means a perfect awesome painter. But apparently people like what they see and ask me to do stuff.
And with that my inspiration came back and I finally started painting again. Even doing some small commissions.. Yes I will paint in exchange for mead <3
More importantly is that my boyfriend has decided that it would work better if I was "managed" aka someone kicks my ass away from behind the computer and behind the painting table. So far so good.
My current projects for January are:
- Iron Warrior ( Commission)
- Super Dungeon Explorer Hero ( Private test)
After that I have some new stuff on the shelves. And later on I hope to start on finishing my armies. Looking forward to fiddle with my little space pups :P
Yesterday we braved the ice and snow to get to another town to do some shopping for miniatures. I was looking for some stuff and paints.
This time we opted not to go to the GW since we needed some other brands as wel. A few months back a store opened in a city nearby so we braved the cold ( sorry I don't deal well with the current weather).
I managed to pick up a very cheap box of clanrats… the old models who will serves as my skaven slaves.
I also fell in love with an avatar of war model which really got me inspired to paint her. I do love female miniatures it is just such a pity that they are a bit more rare and are often a bit cliche. But once every now and than a really nice one comes out.
This sunday we are gonna sit down for a plan and paint session. I have a game of warhammer at the end of february which I really look forward too. So I need to finish some more units for that. I am currently working on my doomwheel XD
Sunday I will however work on some other models like a female vampire and a tomb king. In the hope to get that painting feeling back into my fingers again. I have some ideas for the bases of both of them. So hopefully it all works out.
I also really need to fix may lay-out and profile picture here.
Have fun painting and gaming!

So 2013 is already in full swing and plans are slowly forming.
I want to spend more time on actually improving myself on painting miniatures. Especially after the awesome workshop I had from Mathieu Fontaine (http://www.akaranseth.com/) back in November. Really inspirational and I met a lot of nice people there who showed me some tips and tricks.
If anything I need to have fun and need to be less hard on myself. I am just starting really and should just go from there and learn.
I also started with a Dark Heresy campaign which is a lot of fun. I am playing a Sister of Battle in a dysfunctional group of doom and mayhem. The first session was a lot of fun and I am looking forward to play some more.
I still need to finish my Dark Heresy character and perhaps paint two models for the battle rounds ;) The rpg book themselves are a lot of fun as well and can serve as a real inspiration for ideas for army/ mission backgrounds.
The Dark Angels launch was last Saturday so we went into a GW. I didn't end up buying anything from the DA yet. Next month I am planning to get myself a box of deathwing knights to fiddle around with.
Also I am saving up to buy the Horus Heresy book from Forgeworld. I saw some of the book at a friends place and I loved it! Really looking forward to delve more into that era of the war. Playing a bit of the stuff we read about in the Horus Heresy series :)
Also seeing Mathieu Fontaine's Angron ( Forgeworld, Best in Show at GD Paris 2012) was really inspiring. A beautifull model which really came alive with a gorgeous paintjob. http://www.akaranseth.com/blog/games-day-paris-france-and-angron.htm
My projects (that I must try to finish in 2013)
- Finishing painting my 1500 pts Skaven Force.
- Starting on 750 points of Space Wolves
- Finishing at least one random model each month
- Improve painting
- Start playing the game
- Visit some GW's in the UK
- Continue with the Horus Heresy
- Have loads of fun!
Waiting now for the brownies to come out of the oven.
This weekend is gonna be filled with rpg's and me baking brownies to take along with me.
First up today is Dark Heresy/ Rogue Trader in which play our own nemesis. Our band of inquisitors vs our band of Evil rogue traders. Looking forward to it.
Also saw the Dark Angel advance orders. It really looks nice…. but the price. It's 39 euro for the normal codex and the limited 70. But the models do look nice, alghough I hope for some more stuff on Cypher. I like the storylines around the fallen.
But first deciding what to start painting fron the backlog.
I just received my issue of the White Dwarf with the Dark Angels in it.
And I really like some of the models. Both the Hobbit and the Dark Angel releases look really nice. But.. but.. I promised myself to paint some of my stuff first before buying any more. And the prices are a bit steep as well ( 45 euro for 5 models?)
Still my inner painting geek screams at me that I really need to paint those Deathwing knights asap. Let's see if I can resist the urge to pick up those models.
I fear the worst
It has been quiet on this blog for some reasons.
I changed jobs ( still work for the same employer) and I also went to China to attend the wedding of my brother in law. It was a lovely time but with the work change/ visa/ insurance etc. It was kinda hectic and thus no painting.
Also I kinda had my issues with GW myself.
In my country we have several GW stores and I used to love walking in and sitting there and being inspired. But in the past two years that feeling has gone..
At the moment they seem to be booting out a lot of employees. Four managers are gone and some staff was told their contract was not extended. And I find that pity because every year we need to pay more for their ( inferior finecast) products yet the quality of their stores is going downhill.
Twice I met an employee who didn't know what the hell they were selling and gave me wrong information. It is kinda disheartning because the employees do their best but I feel GW is not supporting them well enough. And knowledge is not being carried over.
And than the hobbit set was released. Something I was excited about as I do love the Hobbit and I am a big Lotr fan. But the price of the game (100 euro) is a bit too steep for me for what I will be getting. I like to paint all the dwarves but the rest of the box is kinda underwhelming for that price. Esp. since I bought the Mines of Moria set for 60 euro back in the day (currebtly it is 78 euro thanks to inflation/ GW price hikes).
I don't know but all of this lead me to think that despite the fact that I love the many models I am falling out of love with the company.
Their prices getting higher and higher and at the same time the quality and customer service at the stores seems to get hit as well. What the hell am I paying for?
Perhaps I need to take a look at Hordes/Warmachine?
For the past weeks I have been looking into finding a good store to buy supplies and paints for my miniatures. As much as I love my country the vast majority of shops don't really sell much besides GW hobby supplies or don't have a webstore.
I did order some stuff with a friend once or twice at Maelstrom over in the UK. Sometimes we had to wait a bit for our order but it always worked out just fine. So about two weeks ago I decided to perhaps pick some stuff up from there. That was until I saw some posts over at blogs and on DakkaDakka.
Maelstrom always made me chuckle a bit as I do love their discounts but their movement sales/excuses were getting a bit ridiculous. I mean how many times can someone move warehouse? A lot it seems.
So I checked out the forums and blogs to see wether or not they were moving again and planned to order after they moved. But what I found was not boding well.
Currently they seem to have issues filling up orders and they are weeks behind on some of them. A lot of people have been waiting for quite some time on items that were out of stock and needed to go to their CC/paypal to get a refund.
Last week the store held a big discount action which can be read about here
There were wild rumours flying around already but this more or less confirmed what I read in the thread before. They needed this sale to sell their instock items to get funds to get the items that they didn't have but where the customers already paid for.
So until further notice I would be carefull to actually order anything there that isn't in stock. I really hope this will work out for them. In the mean time I am going to look at different stores in the hope to find one in the EU to sell me some non-gw paints and proper bases and brushes.

Hey all, after the great help i got when first posting about brewing cider, i thought this would be a good place to ask this.
When i brewed wine (and this could very well be wrong), when i racked it i filtered it to get as much of the yeast out as possable, left it another month then filtered again. This got rid of pretty much all of the yeast and got rid of a yeast-ey taste.
Soo, when i rack my cider in a few days, am i supposed to filter out the yeast, or just siphon all of it into a new demijohn?
any help would rock, and if someone could go through how to rack cider, step by step, that would also be much appreciated =)
Sing, sing, sing and be merry!
Dance, dance, dance and be merry!
Drink, drink, drink and be pi...merry!
Primary: Empty
Secondary: Cyser (unamed)
bottled: Team Sally's Scrumpy
Drinking: A bottle of the teams scrumpy every now and then :D
Woah!! You don't want to be filtering- it has a tendency to strip out certain elements you don't want stripped out. Subtleties and the like.
But yeah, you'll just want to carefully rack your cider off the layer of goo on the bottom, and top up your secondary fermenter with more juice, boiled water, or an earlier batch of cider... depending on how you do things.
It'll clear out eventually. Dont' worry.
right, so no filtering =)
and as this is my first batch, would topping it up with more apple juice be ok?
thanks for the help!
oh, and ive made it using apple juiced (juiced myself heh) with a bit of yeast, so is that classed as hard cider?
thanks again!
if you mean topping it off now while it ferments . . . yeah shouldnt be a problem, just watch your sanitation
if you mean topping it off when you rack it into bottle . . . BE CAREFUL. I did that once and got a whole batch of gushers. No bottle bombs but gushers is close enuff to bottle bombs for me that I wont be doing that again
ahh right, wont be doing that then heh.
checked on it today, its gone clear =D

Liberty Town Productions Hosts 2nd Annual V-Day Celebration Today
Terrific jazz, great food, fun people and a bawdy comedy are in order this Valentine's Day as Liberty Town Productions presents its second annual Valentine's Day fete, today, Feb. 14, at Mickey Finn's upstairs Amber Room, 412 N. Milwaukee Ave., Libertyville.
The evening begins with a heavy hors d'oeuvres cocktail hour (cash bar) at 6:45, featuring live jazz performed by #jazzcombo. About 7:45, local theatre veterans John Durning, Susie Aiello Kiefer, Scott Metzger, Deb Smith and Jodi Thors will take the stage to present the raucous, grown-up comedy, You've Got XOXOXOV Mail.
"We showed last year that local singles and couples want to celebrate Valentine's Day with fun people in a relaxed setting," said Terry Bangs, show director and Liberty Town board member. "We did the classic, Love Letters, and received tremendous feedback.
"This year thought it would be fun to do a relationship comedy. So we chose a show originally titled, You've Got Hate Mail, an uproarious, adult farce of love, loss and foolin' around in the age of technology. It's a lot of fun.
"Our advice is to get tickets early; we're limited to 100 seats. Then find a babysitter, because this is an evening for grown-ups, and come to Finn's for a wonderful, relaxed Valentine's Day."
Tickets are $25 and available only online HERE. If any tickets are available, they will be sold at The Door beginning at 6:45.

How NASA brought the monstrous F-1 "moon rocket" engine back to life There has never been anything like the Saturn V, the launch vehicle that powered the United States past the Soviet Union to a series of manned lunar landings in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The rocket redefined "massive," standing 363 feet (110 meters) in height and producing a ludicrous 7.68 million pounds (34 meganewtons) of thrust from the five monstrous, kerosene-gulping Rocketdyne F-1 rocket engines that made up its first stage. At the time, the F-1 was the largest and most powerful liquid-fueled engine ever constructed; even today, its design remains unmatched (though see the sidebar, "The Soviets," for more information on engines that have rivaled the F-1). The power generated by five of these engines was best conceptualized by author David Woods in his book How Apollo Flew to the Moon—"[T]he power output of the Saturn first stage was 60 gigawatts. This happens to be very similar to the peak electricity demand of the United Kingdom."

Temptation to sin is a topic that everyone is familiar with. It's been said that temptations are the single greatest source of human anxiety. Over the years of visiting with Christians, I can vouch for the fact that succumbing to temptations cause problems of gigantic proportions. All of us are subject to temptation! Even Jesus faced temptation.
"Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, 'I am being tempted by God', for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death." James 1:12-15
What is sin? Is it just murder, stealing and adultery? No…sin is missing the mark of perfection, God's holy standard of righteousness. Sin will take you further than you ever wanted to go, cost you more than you ever dreamed you would pay, and keep you longer than you ever thought you would stay. One of the greatest temptations facing a believer is to settle into a spiritual complacency in which we no longer recognize sin in our life.
God allows us to meet difficult circumstances to increase our spiritual maturity and our patience. God never tempts us to sin. The temptations we face are to prove us or test our quality. They are designed to purify us. Jesus was tempted…"yet without sin." Not until we yield to temptation does it become sin.
I consider 1 Corinthians 10:13 to be one of the greatest verses in the entire Bible. It is one of the first verses I memorized as an adult. I have quoted it frequently, week in and week out, letting it minister to others and myself. I urge you to memorize it and use it frequently, throwing it straight in the face of Satan as God's promise to you. "No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it." 1 Corinthians 10"13
Sin doesn't just jump right out at us with neon lights and blaring sirens. It moves in subtly and cunningly. A good hunter always prepares his trap with the right bait for the right prey! Satan customizes temptation to lead us away from God. Jesus answer to temptation was to pray and that should be our model too. "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen." (Matthew 6:13) For "The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations." (2 Peter 2:9a) We will not always succeed in victory over temptations, but when we fail and ask forgiveness, God is faithful to forgive us.
I like this quote from Jim Elliot, the missionary who was martyred for his faith. "Unwillingness to accept God's "way of escape" from temptation frightens me – what a rebel yet resides within." Even better is this unknown quote…Unless you have never been tempted, don't pass judgment on someone who has yielded.

Welcome to Equitable Principles: Highlighting individuals and organizations that display equitable principles and fight for a just apportionment of profits between labor and capital.
Check to our blog for news and commentary.
Initially labor and capital had been partners in creating a business, but that is not what is currently practiced in American capitalism. Now only those who contribute capital, and have therefor been deemed owners (in the current state of capitalism,) are entitled to any profits.
Those who possess capital reap all profits, outright stealing the fifty percent that belongs to labor. The equitable solution then is for workers to also be owners — and have a voice in directing the course of the profits of their labor. Currently ESOPs and co-ops are the most common methods for achieving this, but basic profit-sharing, which predates the current conception of capitalist thought, still exists.
Notably, worker cooperatives extend democracy into the workplace, an important concept which creates individual empowerment.
Please use the links on these pages to educate yourself on employee ownership, and the fight for a just apportionment of profits between labor and capital.

Amazing revival of a classic. It's been almost 20 yrs since Sunset had its last professional tour and this revival was better vocally than the original. The house was full and there wasn't a restless moment in the entire evening. Great theater.

Residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) are set to experience a boost in potable water supply as the Lower Usuma Dam expansion project is nearing completion. FCT Minister, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed made the disclosure at the weekend when the British High Commissioner
to Nigeria, Mr. Andrew Lloyd paid him a courtesy visit at his Area 11, Garki office in Abuja. The Minister said the construction of phases three and four of the Dam's water treatment plants has reached 95% completion. He expressed satisfaction with standard of job by the contractors, Biwater Nigeria Plc, describing works done by the British company as 'massive'. He hoped that the contractors handling the other aspect of the multi-billion naira project which has to do with water distribution through piping and reticulation would complete their works within schedule and satisfactorily too. Senator Mohammed said that supply of potable water to Abuja residents has remained a major challenge for the FCT Administration largely due to the ever rising population of Abuja. He pointed out that the security problems in some states due to sectarian, ethnic and social crises have made FCT the preferred destination of many people fleeing from those places. According to him, an estimated 10, 000 people migrate to FCT daily from other states and elsewhere to settle as their new abode. Every new migrant, he explained, comes with additional demand on available infrastructure, amenities and facilities in the territory.The FCT Minister solicited collaboration and support from Britain especially in the area of mass transportation stressing that the British model of public transportation remains one of the best in the world.Senator Bala Mohammed said that President Goodluck Jonathan has given the FCT Administration an order to restore the Abuja Master Plan. He therefore vowed to rise to the challenge. He emphasized that rapid population growth in FCT has aggravated the problem of illegal structures development in the territory and declared that the FCT Administration would continue to remove the unlawful structures with all necessary tact and caution so as to reduce their traumatic effects on the people.Earlier, the High Commissioner, Mr. Lloyd had told the Minister that the trade volume between Nigeria and the United Kingdom has gone up to 80% while the number of people travelling to the UK from Nigeria has increased by 20% within the last two years.The Envoy described the current relations between the two countries as 'excellent' adding that this year alone, Britain has recorded more high profile visits of her citizens, including that of the Prime Minister, to Nigeria than in the last five years put together.Mr. Lloyd who said he visited Abuja 23 years ago in 1988 hailed the huge transformational developments that have occurred in the capital city since then. He described Abuja as a beautiful city which though still has challenges in few sectors.Delivering the vote of thanks, FCT Minister of State, Oloye Olajumoke Akinjide noted the longstanding relationship between Britain and Nigeria, which she noted, has grown from that of master and subject to equal partnership. She sought assistance of Britain for FCT towards accelerated development of FCT's satellite towns especially with a view to ensuring that Abuja becomes not just an administrative but also a cultural capital.During the courtesy call, the High Commissioner discussed with the FCT Minister, the visit to Nigeria by the Lord Mayor of the City of London, the Rt Hon Alderman Michael Bear to Nigeria between September 11 and 15, 2011. The visit is intended to strengthen the commercial and economic relationships between the UK and Nigeria as well as help to develop links between the financial sectors of both countries.

M23 rebels have reportedly signed a peace treaty with the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The signing comes a few weeks after the rebel group surrendered. The document was signed by a whole host of leaders in the region including Uganda's president, Yoweri Museveni, and Malawi's president and current South African Development Community Chairperson, Joyce Banda. Some observers have argued that the treaty is a result of more aggressive military operations by the United Nations in the country: Its Force Intervention Brigade in the DRC has gone on the offensive against armed rebel groups like M23 more than U.N. forces have in the past.
Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has written a very scathing and very public letter to current Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan. Obasanjo accuses Jonathan of acting in a dictatorial manner and tolerating an excessive amount of corruption. The letter has elicited a number of heated responses, including one prominent op-ed in Nigeria's Premium Times, which called the letter "Satanic" and "the most narcissistic action of any Nigerian ruler." The Youth and Conflict Resolution Initiative, a human rights organization active in the country, also lambasted the letter, calling it hypocritical and lacking sufficient respect. The two men were both in attendance at a celebration of Kenya's 50th anniversary of its independence yesterday.
This week, South Africans bid their farewells to former President Nelson Mandela, who died on December 5. Public viewings of Mandela's body have elicited very large crowds, and a memorial service held on Tuesday was attended by some 80,000 observers, including more than 90 heads of state. Among the attendees was U.S. President Barack Obama who offered a stirring tribute. The atmosphere at the service was both somber and jubilant, as thousands of attendees danced and sang songs celebrating the life of the man.

Back by popular demand…or rather in spite of a lack of it. Not to get off topic, but as soon as I read the news story this morning about Richard III's remains probably being found under a car park, I posted the link on facebook and said, "A hearse, a hearse, my kingdom for a hearse!" Turns out someone beat me to that punchline (I did a google search and found an article with that title posted one hour before I did). I guess I'll never be first.

Candy takes all the clout on Halloween.Try two fun products that take the spotlight away from sugary treats and provide tons of Halloween fun.
Forget the massive bowl of classic miniature candy bars. This Halloween, be the coolest house on the block by giving out two new and exciting treats that put a spin on the phrase "trick-or-treat."
Who says you have to give away sugary candy on All Hallows Eve? Kids will be just as pleased, and certainly surprised when they receive Wikki Stix. Wikki Stix are "candy-free, wax-coated yarn you can bend and twist again and again" to concoct playful creations and endless designs. This Halloween, Wikki Stix offers the Halloween Pak, which includes 50 individually-wrapped Wikki Stix and a Halloween-themed playsheet to go with them. Wikki Stix are non-toxic, and leave no mess to clean up.
For another great alternative to an abundance of sugary saturation, try a treat that's as much fun to apply as it is to show off. Tung Toos, temporary tattoos made of candy that kids can place on their tongue, come in a variety of designs. Kids will be sticking out their tongues all night to show off edible images, from pumpkins, to black cats. Parents and dentists can be assured that excessive sugar won't be rotting in between teeth; Tung Toos disappear naturally, letting kids switch up their Tung Toos designs all night.
To learn more about, and/or purchase Wikki Stix, visit wikkistix.com
To learn more about Tung Toos, visit tungtoos.com, or head to your nearest Party City location to purchase.

[Ed. note: This post is authored by Evan Jowers and Robert Kinney of Kinney Recruiting, sponsor of the Asia Chronicles. Kinney has made more placements of U.S. associates and partners in Asia than any other firm in the past four years. You can reach them by email: asia at kinneyrecruiting dot com.]
Despite best intentions, it has been some time since our last post here on ATL, except for ratcheting up our placement numbers. Since continuing on like that seems a bit gauche to us (and wasteful, considering the cost of this space), and the standard summer slow down in hiring seems to be on us, we wish to apologize for our unintended break and get back to work. For the record, we continue to remain extremely busy in the Asia markets, making already this year 42 US associate or counsel placements at law firms in Hong Kong / China and Singapore, as well as five in-house placements in Hong Kong / China. Our partner work in these markets, though we try to keep a tighter lid on that data, has also been increasingly fast and furious. We are going to now start once again having weekly posts here at Above The Law and also will finally begin more regular posts at theasiachronicles.com. The goal is and has always been daily posts. If any of our readers have a subject you would like addressed, please let us know.
If you would like to meet with any of our Asia team during the next two weeks, Evan Jowers, Robert Kinney and Yuliya Vinokurova will be available in Moscow, Danielle Cyr in New York, and Alexis Lamb in Hong Kong. Robert, Evan and Yuliya just returned from a few weeks in Hong Kong and Shanghai. Robert and Evan will also be in Beijing and Hong Kong in the first two weeks of August. Evan will be, as usual, in New York on and off this summer. Danielle and Alexis are of course based in New York and Hong Kong, respectively.
We are opening new Shanghai and Beijing offices soon and feel free to apply to Kinney if you are an experienced and successful recruiter in China, in either biglaw or the corporate world. Email us at email@example.com.
We all make impulse buys from time to time. If there is any buyer's remorse afterwards, the pain is limited to our pockets being a little light or, sometimes, a bad purchase may even cause a significant but temporary dent in our bank accounts. For example, a couple of weeks ago in Shanghai, our own Evan Jowers and Robert Kinney decided to kill some time on a rainy Saturday afternoon at M50 (50 Moganshan Road, a relatively new place – about 10 years old – where many modern art galleries are situated in 1930's era buildings). What started as browsing ended up in spur of the moment purchases of six expensive paintings by an up and coming artist (at least that is what the gallery owner claimed), Wang Da, to put on display in our soon-to-be opened new Shanghai offices. The purchases were made while they were simply waiting for a couple of NYC based hedge fund manager friend / clients to meet them at a particular gallery. While Evan and Robert don't have buyer's remorse, at least not yet, they had some explaining to do to their wives and close friends, who are well aware that both guys know very little about modern art, and surely not modern Chinese art, and that scam artists in China outnumber real artists about 10,000 to one.

Hi all,
I'm heading to Moab and around Utah the first two weeks of may or april/may. My riding buddy has bailed on my, but I would like to go anyhow.
Question is: I'd rather not ride by myself for two weeks, so is it easy to get in touch with others to ride with? Are the bicycle shops doing any semi-organized group rides or anything?
best regards,

Coaches honest about teams' needs
Finally, some honest answers about what coaches feel their teams must do to get into the NCAA Tournament.
Not everyone gives the pat "we've got to win the next game" answer when pressed.
Sunday afternoon on ESPN Radio's College Hoops Today, a few coaches gave direct answers as to what they feel their teams or conferences must do to get into the NCAA Tournament.
All coaches look ahead at their schedules to see what games they need to win to get a bid. Anyone who says he doesn't ever look at the schedule is probably not being honest with himself. It's human nature coach, fan, player or member of the media.
These are the same people who say they never read the paper or watch the news yet are the first ones to say they didn't like something that was written.
So, that's why it was refreshing to hear some of the responses.

What if you could have all the energy benefits of cheap, plentiful coal, without the planet-warming gases it emits into the atmosphere?
That dream got a boost Thursday, as Canada's Boundary Dam plant became the world's first large-scale coal power plant to capture and store its carbon emissions. The $1.2 billion SaskPower project aims to capture 90 percent of the Estevan, Sask. plant's emissions, or about 100,000 tons of carbon dioxide a year. That's the equivalent of removing 250,000 cars from the road, according to the Global Carbon Capture and Storage Institute.
Can this coal plant stop climate change?

Triple-digit fall temperatures roasting California
While people in some other parts of the country are watching the leaves turn a kaleidoscope of fall colors as they contemplate unpacking winter clothes, California is roasting under an autumn heat wave.
As high temperatures were ranging from the low 100s in Southern California to the 90s in the normally more temperate San Francisco Bay Area on Thursday, National Weather Service forecasters warned that was just a warm-up for what was coming Friday and Saturday.
Earthquake Rattles Wichita, Tulsa; 4.4-Magnitude Tremor Felt Widely in Kansas, Oklahoma
A 4.4-magnitude earthquake rattled a large part of Kansas and Oklahoma Thursday afternoon, just one day after residents had been ducking for cover from tornado warnings and severe thunderstorms.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake struck at 1:01 p.m. CDT. The epicenter was 7 miles east-southeast of Harper, Kansas, or about 43 miles southwest of Wichita, Kansas. There have been no immediate reports of damage. Wichita television station KAKE-TV said officials near the epicenter in Harper County, Kansas, reported no known damage.
Climate change: 35,000 walruses 'haul out' on Alaskan shore
Haul out! That's what it's called when animals congregate in large groups, and that's just what's happening with 35,000 walruses on the shore of Alaska.
But the phenomenon is no grand jubilee: The reason for the walrus gathering is bleak. The flippered marine mammals are changing their habits because of climate change, environmentalists say.
Baker Hughes to reveal fracking components
Oil services company Baker Hughes said Wednesday it implemented its policy of fully disclosing the chemicals it uses in hydraulic fracturing.
"The policy we are implementing today is consistent with our belief that we are partners in solving industry challenges, and that we have a responsibility to provide the public with the information they want and deserve," Baker Hughes Chief Strategy Officer Derek Mathieson said in a statement.
Frac Sand Rush Threatens American Towns, Advocates Warn
Victoria Trinko hasn't opened the windows of her Wisconsin home in two years -- for fear of the dust clouds billowing from a frac sand mine a half-mile away.
"This blowing of silica sand has not abated since the inception of the mine in 2011," Trinko, a farmer and the town clerk for Cooks Valley, Wisconsin, said during a media call on Thursday highlighting an industry proliferating alongside horizontal hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Frac sand is an essential ingredient in the process of natural gas drilling.
California Becomes First State To Ban Single-Use Plastic Bags
Gov. Jerry Brown on Tuesday signed legislation imposing the nation's first statewide ban on single-use plastic bags, driven to action by a buildup of litter and damage to aquatic ecosystems.
A national coalition of plastic bag manufacturers immediately said it would seek a voter referendum to repeal the law, which is scheduled to take effect in July 2015.

"slingshot" proves Facebook still doesn't understand photo messaging apps
Yesterday, Facebook published a new app called "Slingshot," which is their second attempt at the photo messaging industry that Snapchat currently dominates. After the failure of Poke (which none of my friends knew even existed), they're at it again with a supposedly "unique" take on ephemeral photo sharing.
In Slingshot, the only way to view the photos your friends share with you is to send a photo to them first. "Reply to Unlock," it's called. Witty and results in a great amount of content, right? Wrong. It's direct evidence that Facebook still does not understand what they're getting into.
Snapchat and its comparable competitors are messaging platforms at their core, not photo sharing applications. Yes, Snapchat just added their Stories feature which allows you to send out photos indiscriminately and indirectly to all of your friends. However, the core use case for Snapchat is a messaging platform - keeping in contact with your friends or even holding full-on conversations. Evidence of this core direction includes the new video chatting service, which is an extension of messaging.
Slingshot, on the other hand, sees Snapchat as a photo sharing competitor just like Instagram or even Facebook's built-in Photos service. When you log in to Facebook, you can see a bunch of pictures that your friends posted with you not in mind.
The "Reply to Unlock" requires you to send a message before even seeing what the other person sent. This is the messaging platform best suited for psychics. Have you ever had a conversation with someone and answered their question or replied to them before they even said anything? Didn't think so.
Snapchat is succeeding and will continue to succeed in this new breed of messaging applications. Replying to a photo message after you receive one is the natural experience.
Can you imagine if you had to post content to Facebook.com before you could go through your News Feed of items that people posted without truly thinking of you or wondering if you really cared about the content? That's the approach that Slingshot is taking. It's bound to fail due to, once again, Facebook's lack of ability to grasp the true characteristics of Snapchat's industry and even the category (photo messaging) that Snapchat sits in.

Developmental trajectories and correlates of sensory processing in young boys with fragile X syndrome.
ABSTRACT No longitudinal study on sensory processing in children with fragile X syndrome (FXS) exists. This study examined developmental trajectories and correlates of sensory processing from infancy through preschool years in 13 boys with FXS.
Participants were assessed using observational and parent-report measures 2-6 times between 9 and 54 months of age.
Over time, an increasing proportion of boys displayed sensory processing that differed significantly from test norms. Observational measures were more sensitive than parent-reports early in infancy. Age and developmental quotient significantly predicted levels of hyporesponsiveness; there was a trend for hyperresponsiveness to increase with age. Baseline physiological and biological measures were not predictive.
Sensory processing problems are observable early and grow increasingly problematic from infancy through the preschool ages. Early identification and intervention may attenuate long-term difficulties for children with FXS.

ABSTRACT: Abstract Anxiety is among the most impairing conditions associated with Fragile X syndrome (FXS) and is putatively linked to atypical physiological arousal. However, few studies have examined this association in young children with FXS. The authors examined whether patterns of arousal and behavior during an experimental stranger approach paradigm differ between a cross-sectional sample of 21 young children with FXS and 19 controls (12-58 months old). Groups did not differ in mean levels of behavioral fear. Unlike the control group, however, the FXS group demonstrated increased facial fear at older ages, as well as age-dependent changes in associations between heart activity and distress vocalizations. These findings may inform theoretical models of anxiety etiology in FXS and early detection efforts.American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities 11/2013; 118(6):447-59. · 2.08 Impact Factor
Article: Failed Stabilization for Long-Term Potentiation in the Auditory Cortex of Fmr1 Knockout Mice.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Fragile X syndrome is a developmental disorder that affects sensory systems. A null mutation of the Fragile X Mental Retardation protein 1 (Fmr1) gene in mice has varied effects on developmental plasticity in different sensory systems, including normal barrel cortical plasticity, altered ocular dominance plasticity and grossly impaired auditory frequency map plasticity. The mutation also has different effects on long-term synaptic plasticity in somatosensory and visual cortical neurons, providing insights on how it may differentially affect the sensory systems. Here we present evidence that long-term potentiation (LTP) is impaired in the developing auditory cortex of the Fmr1 knockout (KO) mice. This impairment of synaptic plasticity is consistent with impaired frequency map plasticity in the Fmr1 KO mouse. Together, these results suggest a potential role of LTP in sensory map plasticity during early sensory development.PLoS ONE 01/2014; 9(8):e104691. · 3.53 Impact Factor
Article: Development of socio-communicative skills in 9- to 12-month-old individuals with fragile X syndrome.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We investigated the early socio-communicative development of individuals with fragile X syndrome (FXS) by undertaking a retrospective analysis of family videos. Videos were analyzed to identify existing communicative forms and functions. Analyses were undertaken on seven children who were later diagnosed with FXS. The children were filmed when they were 9-12 months old and before being diagnosed. Fourteen different communicative forms and six different communicative functions were observed. All participants were observed to express the functions of 'Attention to self' and 'Answering', but none indicated 'Requesting action', 'Requesting information', 'Choice making', or 'Imitating'. Results suggest that children with FXS may have a limited range of communicative forms and functions when they are from 9 to 12 months of age. However, further research is necessary to gain a specific developmental profile of socio-communicative forms and functions in FXS.Research in developmental disabilities 01/2014; · 4.41 Impact Factor

This is the service originally offered under 192 by BT. Works well most of the time.
Written on: 26/06/2012
Grossly over-rated and down right robbery.
Asked for a no. and given a totally wrong no. including area code. Apart from the cost of ringing this wrong no. I was charged £3.67p for the privelidge of using BT/ I complained and duly wrote to BT but they did not have the decency to reply , (yet they state that any complaints are dealt with in 8 weeks!! it's now 3 months. Aso when I rang 118 500 to complain I find that I was charged another £3.67 on my next bill for that call as well!!!
Will I be using them again? What do you think?

Epic :-)
Fake... There is no 15th month...
(PS... I know...But its still funny)
The cake is a lie!
Don't eat it! It's poisoned !
THIS is much better to do when you quit than a sign saying F-you... if you care about getting a real job.
Too bad this person can't spell...
Quit your real job to focus on cakes?
Low budget website made with angelfire
This guy writes better with icing than 95% of the male population does with pen.Â
You are the cake man.
He is a twat for spelling organization like that...
that's amazing handwritingÂ
@Todd-Johnson-594 Too bad you can't, Einstein. The spelling is completely correct.Â
@Smokey_Bear its spelt with an s in the uk
@WalterTheDog Yea Sure, Handwriting.
@-First-Â @Todd-Johnson-594 i second that notion, and on another note his icing handwriting is better than most people can do with a pen
@DiMiT so where is "spelt" spelled?
@RyanThaDude @DiMiT uk ....
